Further in the Vvedensky synodikon there is a rather large group of princely families (pp. 21 – 31). It turned out that a significant part of these records was borrowed from the Pechersky synodikon (that had been filled from 1483 to 1530). That’s why I had to write whole monograph about the Pechersky synodikon. The concentration of all the princes in one sequence is made by the scribe of the VS consciously and systematically. After the last princely family (Kurtsevichi), the name "The kins of Orthodox and pious favors of the nobility, sons of the East church" is written. That is, the nobility was deliberately set after the princes.
